Allow me to be the first to congratulate the MAGA retards (such as @HODL @MartyBent ), who were howling about the $1.7B that Obama returned to Iran. Your 4D chess master is handing Iran $300B, to open the Strait of Hormuz, that Obama kept open for free.

The Pentagon just lent $620,000,000 to a tiny North Carolina startup called Vulcan Elements. The company is two years old. It had fewer than 50 employees. And three months before the deal was announced, Donald Trump Jr.’s venture firm quietly took a stake in it. Here is the part the administration tried to bury. Of the dozens of companies the Pentagon was weighing, Vulcan was the only deal initiated by a top White House aide. That aide was Peter Navarro, a close friend of Trump Jr. The order came down to move fast. One official put it plainly: The call came from the White House. We have to get this done. Staff worked late nights to push it through in weeks. Deals like this normally take many months of vetting. And when it closed, Vulcan’s valuation jumped from about 200 million dollars to roughly 2 billion. A windfall for the investors, including the president’s son. This is public money. Your money. Routed through the Pentagon to enrich the president’s family and their friends. The Bush administration’s own chief ethics lawyer called it corruption we pay for. And there is more coming. A drone parts company Trump Jr. holds a stake in is also under Pentagon review. This is not a one-off. It is a pattern. The president’s family is treating the federal Treasury like a private bank, and the bill lands on every taxpayer.

The world's richest centi-billionaire oligarch used his power to change the rules, so he could dump his garbage company (which is cartoonishly overvalued, unprofitable, and incinerating cash) on retail investors, using trillions of dollars in retirement funds as exit liquidity, all in order to become the first trillionaire. This is the perfect metaphor for the US economy as a whole, which is entirely based on bubbles and scams. Stay humble and stack sats. Not shares of ibit, mstr, asst, strc.

Imagine you spent 40 years doing the boring, responsible thing. You opened a 401k at 23. You contributed every paycheck. You ignored the noise. You bought the index because Bogle told you to, because Buffett told you to, because every honest piece of financial advice for 30 years told you the index was the safest, most diversified, most rules-based way to own America. The whole point was the rules. The rules said: a company must trade for 12 months before joining the S&P 500. The rules said: it must show four consecutive quarters of GAAP profitability. The rules existed because in 1999 the index quietly bought a lot of stocks at the top, and pensioners paid the bill. After the dot-com crash, S&P tightened the rules. Nasdaq tightened the rules. FTSE Russell tightened the rules. For 23 years, those rules held. Then SpaceX filed for IPO. And the rules changed. The S&P 500 waived the profitability requirement. Nasdaq cut its trading-history window from 90 days to 15. FTSE Russell cut its to 5. Bloomberg Intelligence estimates the major index funds will absorb between 19% and 24% of SpaceX's float within six months. That's over $30 trillion of passive 401k and retirement money, mechanically buying a single newly public company at IPO valuations, because the rules said they had to. Except the rules used to say they didn't. Here's the thought exercise: If you spend 40 years building a system designed to protect ordinary savers from buying overpriced stocks, and then you waive the protections the moment a sufficiently large stock asks you to, what was the system actually protecting? Most of investing is about understanding what's a rule and what's a guideline. A rule binds the rule-maker. A guideline binds the saver. You're allowed to find out which is which only after the fact.

Pam Bondi REFUSED to testify under oath today to the house oversight committee. Her lawyer told her to refuse to take the oath, and that's what she did.

The proposed US-Iran peace deal has a $300 billion reconstruction fund for Iran. So, we spend $70 billion bombing them to spend $300 billion to rebuild them.

MAGA: Obama giving Iran $1.7 billion unfrozen assets is TREASON. NYT: Trump’s Iran Deal to include $300 BILLION reconstruction fund for Iran. MAGA: Dear Leader has outwitted everyone yet again!

We have been shown an absolute master class on social engineering and distraction over the last few months. Remember that Epstein thingy?

Trump has pardoned Trevor Milton, a man convicted of stealing $695 million from investors. This pardon came after Milton donated nearly $1 million to Trump's PAC.

Trump: “I have a contractor that built my pools, did an Olympic pool at my clubs. He can do the reflecting pool for $1.3M in less than 2 weeks.” *A no bid contract and 6 weeks later, the budget is now $13.4M Trump: “I don’t know the contractor. Never used them before.”

They changed the rules for Elon again... They waved the profitability rule & are adding SpaceX to indices only 5 days after IPO... normally it's 90 This forces 401k retirement & passive funds to buy SpaceX at elevated IPO pricing, holding the bags the entire way down

Why are we not surprised? Pro-Trump activist Ryan Fournier, the founder of Students for Trump, has been arrested on domestic violence charges in DC.

A top White House aide intervened to get a $620 million Pentagon loan for a company tied to Donald Trump Jr. “The call came from the White House: We have to get this done,” said one person involved.
